Skyrim Update Adds Mounted Combat

Update: The game's 1.6 update is now available for download on the Xbox 360.

Original Story: Bethesda is adding mounted combat as part of a new update for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The update is currently part of the Steam Beta Update for PC.

"While we can’t share details on Dawnguard yet, we’re excited to announce another new feature making its way into the game… Mounted Combat! Like the recently added Kinect support (360) and new kill cameras, this highly-requested feature that was teased in the Skyrim Game Jam video is arriving by way of a free title update," Bethesda said on its blog today.

Details about when the update will go live for consoles will be announced at a later date.
